BCPs inthe perimenopause can smooth out the "bumps" of hormonal
variation. Some women actually do quite well with the pill prior to
menopause. They are no so much necessary as a welcome relief for some.
They can reduce or eliminate sometimes debilitating hot flushes.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
